Does the weight of a new year make you a bit nervous or bummed out?
Big cannabis flavor chasers should hit the weed shop for a trending star of dispensaries this January. All across the US, the three-year-old hype strain Rainbow Sherbert #11 (RS-11) is surging onto hundreds more menus.
Available as top-shelf flower, bargain ounces, dabs, vapes, and even tinctures, RS-11 delivers big, tropical Kerns nectar juice flavors and versatile fun effects. RS-11 has gotten so big it’s become our Leafly HighLight strain for January 2025.
Reviewers say RS-11 gives off notes of apricot, peach, and citrus. It makes them focused, giggly, and relaxed—which sounds pretty perfect for gaming or hobby time.
A sibling to Zoap, RS-11 is ranked No. 30 in traffic on Leafly Strains. It’s now a top 300 strain nationally in stores, with hundreds of stores adding it this year.
Leafly reviewers give RS-11 a 4.4 out of 5 after 140 ratings, and 6,966 users have bookmarked it as a favorite.
About a fifth of Leafly reviewers say RS-11 helps calm them, treat pain, or lift their blues.
RS-11’s parents include this cross of OG Kush and Z dubbed “Pink Guava” after the juice of the same name. Oakland, CA breeder DEO Farms crossed his Pink Guava to a Sunset Sherbert, and all those flavors can be found in the offspring.
Leafly reviewers rave: “The candy guava sour citrus flavor profile is one of the best for flavor I’ve had in 30 years puffin bud.”
“The RS11 strain really does taste like Rainbow Sherbet.”
Leafly reviewer
RS-11 has versatile effects that lie near the center between calming and energetic. If you’re getting creative, RS-11 might quiet your inner critic.
A reviewer writes: “If you create art, try this strain. Mentally energetic but without any tension or anxiety. RS11 has a place in art heaven.”
